Well, I sat down last night and spent a good few hours with just me, my
Washburn, a pad of paper and the CD player and transcribed this mother
as best as I could.  What follows is just the intro, about 11 seconds of
the song.  The rest is very similar so faking it with a little bit of improv
should get you through the song.  The basic chord progression is Em-B-Bm-A.
The position for these chords are at the end of this message.

Yellow Ledbetter

The entire song follows this chord progression (Em-B-Bm-A-Em) except
for the tail end of the song where the lyrics are

"I don't wanna stay.." (repeated)

which is

      __9___      __7___      __5___
      __9___      __7___      __5___
      __9___      __8___      __6___

      __7___      __9___      __7___
      __7___      __7___      __5___

Em      B           Bm          A


The solo for this song is in D pentatonic in the 10th position.  I was too
damn lazy to figure it out AND write it down.  Maybe later!

Yellow Leadbetter: Guitar Solo
By: Pearl Jam (Mike McCready)
Transcription By: Brad Campbell

Symbols:
/=slide up
\=slide down
h=hammer on
p=pull off
w=whammy bar
b=bend
[example: 3b(4)=bend the third fret UP to the fourth]
[example: b(4)3=release the bend (i.e bend 4th fret DOWN to third)]

The bars break corresponding to 4/4 time.  I put them in to give people a
sense of rhythm for the song.  Just keep in mind that every bar has four
beats, except the first bar, which is a one beat (two-note) pick-up I did
the solo from memory, so there will undoubtedly be some problems.  I
didn't note every little slide, vibrato, pull-off, or hammer-on, but I
tried to note the major ones.  Listening to the music while playing will
really help.

Release the 5b(6) slowly throughout the 2nd bar
(The end of this staff is supposed to have a bar break)

Try using hammer-ons and pull-offs to smooth out the "14-12"  combinations

                 Tab By Neil Smith (nj2-smit@uwe.ac.uk)


Right. I have seen loads of requests for this everywhere, and all
the tab I have seen is quite a way out, so I thought I would post
my version. I have had this for ages, but not had the ability to
post :-( Thanks to all the people who replied to my test post, by
the way!

Some people have suggested that this is in an open tuning, but I
reject this on two counts. 1 - In a concert I have, you hear Mike
play a little bit of the riff in a gap (Mike is panned 1 way,
Stone the other), and Mike uses standard tuning for the following
song. Besides - Stone is more the alternate tuning buff, and this
sounds like a Mike composition, given his liking of blues and
Hendrix and stuff. 2 - This version sounds damn close - so I can't
be far out (I hope :-)

Enough guff, and on with the tab. This is all from ear, and all from
memory, so don't bet too much money on it :-) There are three basic
chords shapes to this song, which are fiddled around with to get the
tune.

The three shapes are these:

      E                      B7                      A7

 0 x 6 4 5 4             7 9 7 8 7 7             5 7 5 6 5 5
-------------           -------------           -------------
|-|-|-|-|-|-|           |1-1-1-1-1-1| 7fr.      |1-1-1-1-1-1| 5fr.
|-|-|-|-|-|-|           |-|-|-|2|-|-|           |-|-|-|2|-|-|
|-|-|-|-|-|-|           |-|3|-|-|-|-|           |-|3|-|-|-|-|
|-|-|1-1-1-1|
|-|-|-|-|2|-|
|-|-|4|-|-|-|
     ^
     I use 4, although you
     could quite easily use
     finger #3.

You will note that the B7 and A7 chords leave your little finger
free to move about. With these chords in mind, it should not be
too tough to play this:

KEY: 4h6 - Play 4th fret, hammer onto 6th
     9p7 - Play 9th fret, pull off onto 7th
     6/7 - Play 6th fret, slide up to 7th
     9\  - Play 9th fret, slide down
     7b9 - Play 7th fret, bend to same pitch as 9th.
     [7] - Note that is not really important, but you might want
           to throw it in (Besides, it might 'happen' anyway :-)
     V   - Drop down with tremolo arm
     w   - Tap tremolo arm - i.e. drop note and quickly return
           to same pitch.


E                                B7

                         Hammer on, pull off
                         vv

This is the basic progression as I play it. The rest of the song
is just messing about with this idea. Just as a template, try this
for a more 'busy' version.

E                                B7

                                         Hammer on, pull off
                                         vvv             vvv

                         Hammer on, pull off
                         vvv

[7]----------7---------------------------------------------------
-5-----------5---------5---------0-------------------------------

Sometimes, he play harmonic rings at the end, like so (this is
the final E in the sequence)

[0]--------------------12(NH)----
[0]------------------12(NH)------
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
-0-------------------------------


This, with a bit of improvisation gets you through the rhythm part
of virtually the entire song. The chorus is the same patterns, but
with a more regular strumming pattern. This continues until it gets
to the end of the 2nd chorus ("I don't want to stay - at all ..").
Here it's the same pattern, but with faster chord changes, like so:

 E           B                   A

-4-----------7-------------------5-------------------------------
-5-----------7-------------------5-------------------------------
-4-----------8-------------------6-------------------------------
-6-----------9-------------------7-------------------------------
-x-----------9-------------------7-------------------------------
-0-----------7-------------------5-------------------------------

This is strummed. After repeating this a few times, this pattern
is played: (When Vedder starts singing the Ohhh's)

 E/Eb  E         B               E/Eb  E         A

-4-----4---------x---------------4-----4---------x---------------
-4-----5--------[7]--------------4-----5--------[5]--------------
-4-----4---------8---------------4-----5---------6---------------
-6----[6]--------9---------------6----[6]--------7---------------
-x-----x---------9---------------x-----x---------7---------------
-0-----0---------7---------------0-----0---------5---------------

This part is much more quiet - the chords are only strummed once,
not repeated. On the E/Eb, the bass plays the Eb.

Then it's back to the intro and that's the entire song! At the
end, he does a bit more fidding, that you can work out, and a
few more natural harmonics, like so:

         All these are natural
         harmonic rings.
